# Ask Multi-layered Questions

Sometimes your business question is too complex for AskCorral to answer in one go — especially if it spans multiple sources, datasets, or stages in the funnel. AskCorral works best when you ask **smaller, focused questions first**, then combine them into a final, synthesized prompt.

Example: *“What is the cost per SQL from paid LinkedIn campaigns targeting enterprise leads in Q2, and how does that compare to Q1?”*

#### This question involves four different layers:

1. Spend from LinkedIn Ads
2. Leads filtered by campaign and segment
3. Funnel progression to SQL
4. Time-based comparison

Trying to write this all at once may fail or return the wrong results. So, break it down.

### How it works:

**Understand spend by asking:** “*What was the total LinkedIn Ads spend for Q1 and Q2?”*

**Get lead counts by asking:** *“How many leads came from LinkedIn Ads in Q1 and Q2?”*

**Filter to enterprise leads by asking**: *“How many of those LinkedIn leads were from enterprise accounts?”*

**Funnel progression to SQL by asking:** *“Of those enterprise LinkedIn leads, how many became SQLs in Q1 vs Q2?”*

**Synthesize all data with the prompt:** *“What was the cost per SQL for LinkedIn enterprise leads in Q1 and Q2?” (Use previous answers: divide spend by SQL count.)*<br>
